I will be in North Central New Jersey (Morristown area) for a week for the holidays. I'm fairly familiar with the region, but I have not been back since I took up cycling. Can anyone recommend some good rides in the 40-60 mile range?
Cheers

Here is a link to a nice 50 mile ride with over 3000 ft. of climbing in the Mendham-Gladstone-Califon area: http://www.routeslip.com/map.php?map=3924 . Have a look at some of the other NJ rides in Routeslip.
From Morristown you can easily ride out to the Great Swamp area. Many of my regular 30-40 mile rides are on roads around or through the swamp. Check out the Chatham and Bernardsville maps at http://www.njbikemap.com .
